Rachel Maddow -- After Olbermann

Click title of this post for full article.
The article is pretty simple. It just takes a look at Maddow's role on MSNBC, now that Olbermann has gone away. It's really not that interesting of an article, until the second page. If thought these 2 paragraphs were interesting.
In the Olbermann tradition, Maddow is increasingly denouncing Fox, saying that Glenn Beck, in monologues about Muslims, has been "running baroque conspiracies that are designed to freak people out about bogeymen coming to get them, conspiracies that are unsupported by the facts." Fox, she charges, has "become a McCarthyite chamber of horrors… You can't really call yourself a news channel if that's what you broadcast." Maddow's repeated attacks have not provoked a response from Fox.
While the host devours information online, stuffing printouts in thick folders, there are missteps. She touted an item on the website ChristWire urging Sarah Palin to speak out on Egypt—unaware that it was a satirical blog with such headlines as ARE FACEBOOK SEX GANGS USING "WIKILEAKS" TO TARGET YOUR TEENS? (Maddow good-naturedly confessed her error on Twitter.)

MSNBC Making Up the News Again
Once again we witness MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, trying desperately to understand world politics but as usual, when she can't understand something, she just provides insults to others covering the news. Of course, you know she's insulting Fox News.
What would 24 hours look like without MSNBC insulting and attacking the network that kicks their asses all the way up and down the playground on a daily basis? Like the little kid that gets picked last in gym class, MSNBC continues to create news by slinging mud, rather than trying to put in the hard time to work out and be strong.
Why bother trying to lead by example? If that's the problem that MSNBC has with Fox, you would think that their plans for their news would be actual news, right? No. Instead, they just watch their competitors and do their best to attack, creating stories.
One thing is for sure, it does provide the world comedy and for that I'm grateful. Enjoy.

Ding Dong Olbermann's Gone!

Hey, maybe even MSNBC has standards. I mean, you can only really tolerate someone being such a horrible journalist for so long.
In any case, I'm actually sort of saddened. Whenever there was a slow news day, I always had Keith to make fun of.

More Funny Videos For The Weekend
Awh...more funny videos I am running across and want to share.
In my relentless disgust with Keith Olbermann over the last few weeks, I figure...why not more poking fun at a man whose ego is the size of Jupiter and skin as thin as Unryu paper?
Enjoy!
I'm not sure if the show was recorded at a different time? Hmmm...was he really lying about this? Too funny!

MSNBC Suspends a Republican Host
Wait. A Republican works for MSNBC? Yep, and apparently "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough, is being suspended for the same thing that Olbermann was suspended for -- donating to candidates. Oh, the horror!
I guess this is their policy but, I think it's sort of stupid. Who cares that reporters have opinions? Just be honest about your bias. The American public is not stupid. I think it's more insulting that they want us to believe they are all being "fair" and non biased.

NEW YORK -- MSNBC said Friday that "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough will be suspended for donating to four Republican candidates in local Florida races, two weeks after Keith Olbermann was suspended for making political contributions to Democrats.
Scarborough said he agreed with the two-day suspension, which is the same duration as Olbermann's.

MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan
Every once in awhile you run across someone in the media who is just as confused and frustrated as the American people.
Thanks to a friend on Facebook (Sidney), who posted this interesting clip of Dylan Ratigan, from MSNBC of all places, we get to see Mr. Ratigan "explode" at Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL). In this clip, Mr. Ratigan is pretty furious with Ms. Schultz and points out how the only thing that this health care bill seems to be benefiting, are the insurance companies, as their stocks are moving up.
Watch for yourself.
